Edge ready vinyl?

[Gene@mpls]

Is anyone else finding that Gerber 220 is not clean anymore? New rolls-
in the plastic are dirty and don't print nice. Talking Edge prints of course.

haven't had that problem with 220 or quantum.....and 220 and quantum are mainly what i print here......

No such problem here.

Would it be distributor related?

Not very likely because the vinyl is tightly wound and taped then put in a poly bag and then put inside a box before the distributor ever sees it. This is assuming that Gene is only talking about factory sealed boxes of Gerber vinyl and not a distributor doing cutoffs from an open roll as a value added service.

i was thinking the same thing fred....that a distributor is rerolling...i've seen issues with rerolled material having a major amount of dirt...especially towards the ends of the rolls where it's be tightly wound and the dirt is actually pressed into the vinyl causing imperfections when printed with the edge
